Chapter 59: Concubine Duan meets Concubine Jin (urgently asking for follow-up reading)

"Your Majesty, my father defeated the invading Blood Barbarians for the sake of the dynasty and promoted the prestige of Daning. It would be fine if you didn't reward him, but why did you reprimand my father?"

"After this incident, even the Shanman tribe became obedient and no longer dared to be aggressive. Isn't this enough to show the merits of my father?"

"Even if the Daning Dynasty likes to keep a low profile, it still has to show its might occasionally. Otherwise, no force will dare to bully our Daning Dynasty in the future."

……

As soon as she entered the imperial study, Rong Xiyao spoke angrily, her delicate and flawless face full of anger.

In fact, let alone Rong Xiyao, Lu Changjing also felt annoyed. If he had the power to decide, he would definitely reward the King of Southwest instead of issuing an imperial edict to reprimand him.

"My beloved, calm down!"

Lu Changjing sighed, and when he saw that the door of the imperial study was locked, he walked forward and grabbed Rong Xiyao's soft hand.

Rong Xiyao, who had wanted to break free, felt her anger subside when she saw the helplessness on Lu Changjing's face: "Could it be that Your Majesty is also forced to do this?"

"My beloved concubine, do you think I can really decide matters inside and outside the court now?" Lu Changjing said with a wry smile.

Rong Xiyao was stunned: "Your Majesty, can't you even make a decision on this matter?"

"This is no small matter." Lu Changjing said seriously: "The late emperor set the basic national policy of being friendly to all parties, and the ministers who were entrusted with the care of the young emperor all agreed with this national policy."

"My father-in-law's action of striking the Blood Barbarians was very satisfying to me, but in the eyes of the ministers who entrusted the care of the emperor, it violated the national policy of the late emperor, so they forced me to rebuke my father-in-law. I am also helpless about this matter."

Rong Xiyao bit her cherry lips lightly: "Is that really the case?"

"If not, my beloved concubine, why do you think I have been practicing wholeheartedly all these years, even emptying the secret treasury and the national treasury, is it not to get rid of the current situation." Lu Changjing lied: "There are demons and ghosts causing chaos inside, and foreign countries are eyeing me covetously. The ministers who entrusted me with the care of the orphan are also overbearing and treat me like a child."

"However, my cultivation is only at the level of a mid-level Grandmaster, which is far from theirs. Even my life and safety need to be protected by them, so how can I act so confidently? My beloved concubine can privately send a message to my father-in-law, telling him that I support his actions and that he can act according to his own wishes without paying attention to the so-called imperial decree."

Hearing what Lu Changjing said, Rong Xiyao finally believed it and couldn't help but lean on Lu Changjing's arm and said, "It was your concubine who was reckless. I didn't expect that Your Majesty was living such a wronged life."

"Your Majesty, are those ministers you are entrusting your son to? Are they Cao Wenzheng, Gao Huijing, Zhao Jintian... these bastards? Do you want me to send a message to my father and ask him to contact all parties to take down these rebellious people, so that Your Majesty can regain control of the government."

"Not yet." Lu Changjing immediately refused: "Without sufficient strength, even if we can suppress these guys, when the next batch of Grandmasters come to power, do you think we will repeat the same mistakes?"

"So I plan to wait until I reach the level of a high-level Grandmaster, and then find a way to get rid of these guys' constraints, so that I can truly take charge of the imperial power."

"Well, when that time comes, Your Majesty, you must tell me that my father will definitely stand on Your Majesty's side." Rong Xiyao nodded heavily and snuggled obediently in Lu Changjing's arms.

Looking at Rong Xiyao's graceful and elegant appearance, Lu Changjing couldn't help himself. He glanced at the closed door and lowered his head to cover it.

"Um……"

Rong Xiyao froze, groaned, and then stopped moving, letting Lu Changjing do what he wanted. After a cup of tea, Rong Xiyao left the imperial study again in a daze. She was no longer as noble and arrogant as before, and was no different from a young girl who had just fallen in love.

Lu Changjing smacked his lips. It was so sweet and had a unique flavor. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely try the imported delicacies made by Rong Xiyao. They would surely taste good.

Thinking of the graceful Rong Xiyao preparing imported delicacies for him, Lu Changjing also felt hot, and his pure yang energy began to fluctuate wildly.

Although this is good for tempering the body, it is also easy to break the skill. It is equivalent to dancing on a tightrope and one may be engulfed by the pure yang fire at any time.

Without giving it any more thought, Lu Changjing quickly immersed himself in cultivation, thus suppressing his restless pure yang energy.

A few days later, after sending Lin Yixin away again, who had asked for imported delicacies, Lu Changjing began to clean up the traces left by the two.

However, what he didn't know was that Lin Yixin, who quietly left the Qianqing Palace along the path, happened to meet Concubine Jin Xiao Yaoxin who was about to come to see him.

Under normal circumstances, few people walk on this path, otherwise Lin Yixin would not choose to sneak into the imperial study through this path.

I didn't expect to meet Concubine Jin Xiao Yaoxin here today. Could it be that she is also here to deliver imported delicacies? Did Tan Qingyun leak the secret of the small hole in the skylight?
Thinking of this, Lin Yixin raised her eyebrows: "Is Concubine Jin here to see His Majesty?"

"Yes, has Concubine Duan met His Majesty?" Xiao Yaoxin glanced at the food box in her hand and said with a bright smile.

Lin Yixin directly denied: "I came to the Qianqing Palace to do other things, and I didn't go to see His Majesty, otherwise I wouldn't have taken this route."

"But since Concubine Jin wants to see His Majesty, why doesn't she go through the main gate, but instead comes through this small path?"

Seeing Lin Yixin's denial, Xiao Yaoxin was slightly startled, with a hint of doubt in her pupils, but she still explained: "I was originally planning to go through the main entrance, but the Queen Mother called me to get some medical treatment, and seeing that it was getting late, I had no choice but to take this small path."

"So that's how it is. Then Concubine Jin, please go and see His Majesty. I have things to deal with when I go back." After saying that, Lin Yixin hurriedly left here, handed the food box to the caring maid waiting outside, then turned back and secretly followed Xiao Yaoxin.

Lin Yixin didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she saw Xiao Yaoxin walk in from the main entrance of the imperial study. She didn't want to have one more person to share the emperor's imported delicacies with her.

One Tan Qingyun is already too many, we can’t have any more.

Putting aside her worries, Lin Yixin left the Qianqing Palace with peace of mind and returned to her residence.

What Lin Yixin didn't know was that while she was suspicious of Xiao Yaoxin, Xiao Yaoxin was also suspicious of her.

As a master in medicine and the most gifted alchemist and physician of this generation in Yaowang Valley, even though he had cleaned up all traces when leaving the imperial study, he was still discovered by him.

Xiao Yaoxin had already noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Yixin's complexion. There was a hint of lust in her expression, and her lips were slightly swollen. If nothing unexpected happened, it was very likely that she had had an intimate relationship with the man.
